Best Golf Rangefinders 2017: Ultimate Buying Guide http://hittingthegolfball.com
Advantage of Golf Rangefinders • One advantage of using these rangefinder tools is the effects it can have on your game. Being able to have an accurate representation of the golf course and the distances between targets can help a golfer plan out their game better. From choosing the right tool for the job to telling how close a water hazard is, a rangefinder can help a golfer to make the right decision every time. • The rangefinder can also give a golfer a better representation of their own shots and the distances they give off of them. Being able to see and measure exactly where your ball lands off of certain shots makes planning out your attack easier. It will help a golfer to make better decisions and can also help them pinpoint where they may be making mistakes when taking shots. • Many of you who use smartphones may be wondering why they should buy a rangefinder when there are plenty of apps with GPS right on your phone. Well, to start, smartphone golf GPS are still nowhere near the level of rangefinders in terms of accuracy. Even the best GPS has a hard time matching the accuracy that most rangefinders can provide a golfer when playing. • This kind of accuracy is essential for a golfers games, as it can help in a number of ways. It can help a golfer decide which clubs to use in a given situation, how far a player is from the green, and even locations and distances to various traps and hazards. • Another positive over the GPS is no subscription fees or downloads. All rangefinders are ready for use directly out of the box, with no additional purchases needed. And you never need to download software updates for your rangefinder, as the product is always up to date, even if you haven't used it in some time.
Disadvantages of Golf Rangefinders • The money that you save on subscription fees will have to be used for batteries, which is one drawback of rangefinders. Almost all rangefinders use some form of disposable batteries, so there is a need to frequently change and buy batteries. This is a process that a lot of golfers may rather avoid, as it may get pricey in the long run. • You may find that using one of these rangefinders, especially if you are just getting used to them, may slow down the pace of the game while you use and adjust the tool. This is likely fine when using the rangefinder during a practice round, but when playing with friends or on a course with many other golfers, using the item may irritate some people who are in a hurry. Using the tool during practice rounds until you learn to use it quickly is certainly recommended. • This kind of tool is also not one that a casual golfer would get much use out of. If you only play golf a few times a year, you may not want to waste the money on a rangefinder, especially because some of them can get kind of expensive. Spending a couple hundred dollars on an item you may only use a few times at most is likely something you may not want to do. • Going along with the last paragraph, a rangefinder really is a tool for a more advanced golfer. If you do not play golf too often or are generally just getting good at the game, then the advantages that the rangefinders will provide really won't do too much for you. As such, you may want to pass on a purchase until you are more comfortable with other aspects of your golf game.

Things to Look Out For • Not only do you need to consider the above when buying a golf rangefinder, but there are also several things you will want to look out for when buying one. • For starters, as said above, you really need to pay attention to the reviews written online for these products. While you will see a lot of reviews likely talking about how great a product is, you may also spot those that talk about issues such as defective products or bad resolution. Both types of reviews have to be taken into consideration, as you want to make sure there isn't a high chance you get a bad rangefinder. • Speaking of bad rangefinders, it is generally a good idea when buying one to stick with more well-known brand names. While some generic rangefinders may be okay, there are a lot more that are not. Many of these rangefinders can actually come across more like cheap knockoffs, so it's usually a much better idea to err on the side of caution and buy popular brand names. • Even in the best of name brand rangefinders, though, you may want to look out for those that have negative features. Bad battery life, defects, frailty of the product, and many other issues are things you will want to be cautious of, as even the most popular in rangefinder names can have these issues. • You will want to know what you need before buying as well. Every golfer is different, and so are golf rangefinders. It is very hard to find a rangefinder that hits every possible note a golfer would want, so it is important to see what products have the features you need most, and exclude those you may not be too concerned with. • Finally, and what all this basically boil down to, is do your research. Pay attention to all the details, features, pros and cons of every rangefinder you look at, and make sure you make the purchase that is right for you. Making an impulse buy without looking at all the details can lead to buying a less then amazing product that cost way too much, which is something you want to avoid.
